octocode

What it does

One toolset over both your local workspace and external sources — GitHub repos, PRs, npm — combining ripgrep, AST search, directory trees, precise reads and LSP, available as a CLI or an MCP server with a Rust engine underneath for speed on large repositories. Used from an agent, the excerpts it pulls go to that model, and its GitHub access runs on your credentials, so scope the token narrowly. MIT.

octocode FAQ

Is octocode free?

octocode itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use octocode?

It connects to an MCP-capable AI app such as Claude. It does not run on its own.

Does octocode work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use octocode commercially?

The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
